Cioffi Makes Pay Jump at Dombrowski's Expense
Action was picked up on a flop of 3♣2♣K♦ with just two players still holding cards. Hieu Ngo had bet 15,000 into a pot of 450,000 when checked to. Despite this not being a valid bet size, it was enough to put Christopher Dombrowski all in, who had exactly that much behind.
He was deep in the tank due to the fact that he was on a $700 pay jump bubble, and after some time another player called the clock, and the floor came over. Despite being offered a further 30 seconds, and being one elimination away from a pay jump, he made the call pretty much instantly.
Christopher Dombrowski: A♦6♠ 
Hieu Ngo: K♠Q♥
Dombrowski didn't improve on the 4♠10♣ runout, sending him home. Just seconds later, shouts of "Payout!" were heard one table over, as Paul Cioffi had been eliminated. He was all smiles, wishing luck to his tablemates, and celebrated a little more when he realised that he'd made the pay jump, thanks to Dombrowski's quick call.
